          Luxottica Board Approves Plan To Issue EUR500 Million Bond 
   ROME (Dow Jones)--Luxottica Group SpA (LUX) said Monday it plans to  sell a EUR500 million bond, the Italian eyewear company's first public  Eurobond issue. 
    Luxottica's board approved the issue of senior long-term notes in a  deal to be done before the end of January 2011 "in order to exploit  favorable market conditions and extend the average maturity of the  debt," the company said. 
    BNP Paribas SA, Deutsche Bank AG, Intesa Sanpaolo SpA and Mediobanca  SpA will be joint lead managers and bookrunners, Luxottica said. 
    The planned bond is the latest in opportunistic tapping of debt markets by companies with no evident need for cash. 
    Luxottica generated EUR250 million in free cash flow during the third  quarter, helping it reduce its net debt to EUR2.27 billion at the end of  September, about 2.3 times this year's expected earnings before  interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Luxottica's market  capitalization is about EUR10 billion.
